Real Madrid chief Butragueno welcomes Bayern Munich draw

Real Madrid chief Emilio Butragueno has welcomed their Champions League semifinal draw with Bayern Munich.

Butragueno admits it's about time Real reached a final.

"I think from a footballing point of view it is one of the best games in the world and I'm sure everyone all around the world will have eyes on the clash at the Bernabéu.

"It is the fourth consecutive semi-final for Real Madrid and we want to get to the final. We know how difficult it is going to be but we have confidence in our players. Bayern are an extraordinary organisation. It is one of the most prestigious clubs around and the reigning champions. They have an incredible side on both a collective and individual level and will be a tremendous opponent for us."
